Re: [asterisk-users] Need ISDN call generator
Keep an eye out for older model INET Spectra call generators, with ISDN / SS7 stacks. These days the old boxes are being sold off very cheaply on popular auction sites. Hammer was the other popular call generator hardware that you might find being sold at a fraction of the original cost.

[asterisk-users] app_swift beta release
Hi folks, Just a note to let everyone know I've finally finished up the new BETA release of app_swift (now v3.0.1 b1). This release introduces some pretty major changes to app_swift such as: - The entire code-base has now been unified and the build system auto detects which Asterisk version you're using (yay! one branch!) - Auto-detection and support for both the Cepstral 5.0 and 6.0 engines - Support for Asterisk 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 1.8 Certified, and 10 - Asterisk 1.2 support has been dropped. I have only been able to do some basic testing with all these permutations of Asterisk and the Cepstral engines on a few of my machines here at the house and need some volunteers to help out and be guinea-pigs. Please email me directly with any feedback you might have. I've updated my github repo with the new app_swift code which can be downloaded using git. git clone git://github.com/dmsessions/app_swift.git Thanks, - D -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] OT - T.38 unreliable on a LAN : truth or obscurantism ?
T.38 is tolerant of most network conditions, ... the challenges in getting reliable performance are usually limited to getting the interop right once, but the absolute success rate will depend on the quality of your T.38/PSTN gateway's fax implementation. In general terms, T.38 is actually the right way to cope with lossy or high jitter network conditions, and so it's reliable over most networks.

In general terms, T.38 is actually the right way to cope with lossy or high jitter network conditions, and so it's reliable over most networks. Yes. An other thing to factor in, is how Asterisk's load could influence its capability to let faxes passing through. To me, if Asterisk is installed on a modern CPU (dual core and more) and is configured in such a way that no transcoding happen, then passing faxes through is easy and works reliably. Opinions ? The devil is in the details, but in general it's nowhere near that simple. You don't clarify what pass-through role Asterisk is playing here. G.711? T.38? What are you passing through TO? A TDM card connected to the PSTN? Or some SIP trunking provider, who themselves may be using G.711 or T.38 ... Assuming you mean the specific case of one local LAN hop over SIP, connecting directly to a well-configured PSTN card on the same Asterisk server, it's possible to get reliable faxing over G.711 with careful network configuration, good and well configured ethernet interfaces, correct jitter buffer, gain and echo cancelation settings, etc etc. -d -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

In this case, fax calls are coming in through an analog gateway, passing trough Asterisk and then going out to ISDN through a digital gateway. Is T.38 actually in use in this scenario? Or are you simply passing the fax call through Asterisk as 'normal' audio (G.711u/a, etc)? Yes, T.38 is in use between each gateway and Asterisk (I should have specified this more clearly) : Fax Machine -- Analog Gw --T.38-- Asterisk --T.38 -- Digital Gw --ISDN-- PSTN Assuming you have Asterisk doing T.38 pass-through here, reinviting the T.38 payload to go directly between the analog GW and the Digital GW, and assuming that 'Digital Gw' has a good T.30 fax engine inside of it (because after all, the gateway is what's speaking convention audio-based fax to the remote sender/receiver, the above setup should work well independent of network conditions. T.38 has ways of coping with extremely bad connections (via packet redundancy or FEC error correction) that you probably would not need on a LAN. Note, however, the use of T.38 versus G.711 may limit the speed of your faxing to 14,400 and prevent the fax protocol from using its own error correction (many T.38 gateway implementations wrong-headedly disable ECM error correction). When it comes to faxing over a LAN, the choice of T.38 versus G.711 uLaw/aLaw is less than obvious. In your case, it will be highly dependent upon each piece of your call flow. The fax machine, the analog gateway, how Asterisk is setup, the digital gateway and the quality of the PSTN line. These days you cannot trust that your PSTN carrier is using TDM routes, sometimes they slip a little T.38 in the middle on you, and all bets are off. No matter what scenario you go with though, you probably want to get Asterisk out of the media path and get a gateway-to-gateway conversation going eventually. -Darren -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] app_swift tts module - new home.
Hi Folks, After receiving a surprising amount of emails from Asterisk community members, I thought I'd fire something off to the users list to clear any confusion regarding the Asterisk Forge (forge.asterisk.org) website and the future of the app_swift text-to-speech module. With regards to the Asterisk Forge website redirecting to GitHub, this has been a long time coming. Emails were sent out to the various lists warning folks that the hosted GForge site was going away - so no one should be too surprised - 'nuf said there. As far as the app_swift project is concerned, with the exception of moving things around as far as location, it is business as usual. The app_swift code for *all* the different versions of Asterisk is now being hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/dmsessions/app_swift . This is a good thing and will make life easier. btw, I love git. If you don't yet, you will . . someday soon . . Individual tar files for each of the different versions of app_swift, which is what 99% of people are going to want, are all available for download on my website at http://www.darrensessions.com by clicking the 'Downloads' button at the very top of the page. That is all my friends. Seasons Greetings! - Darren -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] app_swift for Asterisk 10
Hey there folks, I'd sent this to the list last night and got reject email this morning. Apparently it is always a good idea to have an active subscription to the list you are trying to post to - just one of those things. :) In any case, a new beta version of app_swift is available for Asterisk 10. I put it up in the Asterisk Forge on the 25th of last month, but wanted to wait to post something on the users list until I'd had a chance to really test it a bit (so far so good). http://forge.asterisk.org/gf/project/app_swift/frs/ I have to say, the combination of Asterisk 10 and this latest version of app_swift is absolutely the best sounding of any release to-date! I've been *very* impressed so far. Also, just fyi . . there are some extremely minor tweaks I'll be back-porting to the other app_swift versions shortly. I hope to get that done this weekend or next depending on my free time. Enjoy, - Darren -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] Sharing Fail2ban data
Good Day, I've been doing a little work that I wanted to share. We've had a number of Asterisk systems that have been under heavier than normal attack. We use fail2ban but we either have to let each system be exposed or keep all the data synchronized which is a bit of a chore. I wrote a little server that assists in keeping data synchronized across sites. If you're interested in using it to assist in managing your own fail2ban sharing list I'll gladly share it. I also am offering it as a free service for those who are interested in contributing to a blacklist.

Or perhaps its the fact that the nature of the apps that get listed means they aren't usually 'purchase-able' with a simple 'click to buy' (how do you sell SIP trunking with a click-to-buy???) - and as a consequence there's no purchase capability built into the asteriskexchange site, just link outs to different purchase-ish URLs for the various products. Anyone looking to sell their app would need to develop their own point-of-sale/payment processing systems so it's really not an 'app store' at all in the traditional sense. Kudos to digium for realizing this goal, but I think the $5000 get-in cost has resulted in the lack of interest/popularity, and limited the listings to only the largest, most profitable asterisk/digium partners. -d -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] app_swift v2.0 released
Hi all, Thought I'd mention that the new version of the app_swift text-to-speech module for Asterisk 1.2, 1.4, and 1.6 has been released at it's new home on the Asterisk Forge. http://forge.asterisk.org/gf/project/app_swift/ For those that are unaware, app_swift provides a direct interface with the Cepstral text-to-speech engine so instead of having to call the Cepstral engine and write then read an audio file (i.e. disk I/O), you can call the library directly and stream the audio straight to the Asterisk channel. Additionally, the app_swift module supports DTMF detection with a max digits and timeout value as well (similar to the AGI get data functionality). The new version of app_swift has been built and tested on the latest releases of Asterisk for each of their respective code-bases (1.2.40, 1.4.32, and 1.6.2.8) using the Cepstral 5.x libraries. Any questions or feedback, please let me know. Thanks, - Darren -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

I seem to be missing some basic understanding here. I would call into the free conference service and then transfer that call into my meetme conference. If you're using Trixbox you can use the MeetMe web control to disconnect the call when you're done. You can also disconnect calls from the asterisk cli using the soft hangup command.

Re: [asterisk-users] MeetMe Conferencing - Announce your own join/leave to yourself and other conference members
Well, never mind on this (didn't get any responses anyways). I basically removed the meetme announcement options and wrote the functionality from scratch into my AGI framework along with an announcement queuing daemon that runs continuously every second in the background that generates a call file and plays back the user name recording. Hasn't added any CPU overhead with the call processing and along with working as intended I think there maybe some other unique capabilities for it down the road. In any case, thought I'd update the thread.

[asterisk-users] Detecting which party initiates a hangup
Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to detect which party initiates a hangup - and if so, how this is done.

Looking inward at our own sales numbers, it would seem to suggest that there was a startling dip as the financial carnage was first breaking, but that the inimitable can-do entrepreneurial spirit that goes with emerging (occasionally disruptive) technologies is finally breaking through the doom and gloom, and sales are once again back on track. *phew* To help us keep up with demand, we've decided to add more sales, support and programming depth to our bench and have immediate need for a few people in our Philadelphia office. We're looking primarily for: - inside sales rep - entry-level tech support engineer (must grok asterisk company) - web developer / programmer (ideally with solid javascript and/or XML/ SOAP experience) We're a young growing company (Inc. 500 two years running and one of the top 10 private companies in Philadelphia in 2007) and we're definitely open to any other strategic hire that might help take us to the next level of growth.

My requirements are very minimal and at this point unless I have missed something will just write my own. I do not do calling cards. I have no near term need for the package to actually talk with asterisk at all, other than to import the CDR either via files or as a login to MySQL. I do have monthly recurring charges which need to be included monthly. I do occasionally have need to one off (manual) billing charges.

Ability to generate hard copy Invoices and/or email them to the cust. Ability to generate a list of current Invoices. Runs on Linux. All in all not a very complex set of requirements, but the few packages that seem to be currently offered generally do not fit the bill. Yes there are many commercial packages, but unless they are very minimal in cost I have no interest in them.

[asterisk-users] Interpreting Asterisk Logs
Hi, Can anybody point me to an online resource that will assist with interpreting Asterisk log files? I note that a similar question was asked in this forum some time ago (http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2007-June/189793.html), which doesn't appear to have received any responses. On that occasion, the OP was seeking a log parser - I'm looking for more of a general reference guide. I'm quite new to Asterisk, and VOIP in general, and I'm struggling to understand what many of logged messages mean. The current approach I am taking is to google for specific messages (or parts thereof) - and this has been somewhat fruitful, if not quite tedious. It would be nice to have a reference guide that lists the most common log messages, and what they mean. Does such a guide exist? thanks, Darren -- DOCOMO interTouch provides a full suite of integrated solutions to the hospitality industry.

Re: [asterisk-users] Vitelity Asterisk configuration help
Stephen, What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If you want basic call in/out you're just about there. Changes need to be made in your extensions.conf. Your phones, by default, are in the [default] context. In other words when making a call it looks for extensions here. To allow outbound calling include your outgoing context within the default. To include it, at the bottom of the default context add include = outgoing either of these should allow outgoing calling. As for incoming, add a Goto as follows. [inbound] exten = 9045622082,1,Answer exten = 9045622082,n,Goto(default,101,1) That equates to goto the default context, extension 101, at the 1st priority which is your Dial command.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Load Balancing
One other thing you could try would be to use OpenSIPS and use a standard config that routes to a hostname (with a creative failure route setup). You'd then setup the hostname in DNS as multiple SRV records reflecting your pool of Asterisk servers (set your TTL very low for these records). You could have something like sipsak send test messages every 30 seconds or so to each of the Asterisk servers. If one quits responding, then the monitoring app updates your DNS servers removing the effected Asterisk server from the DNS pool and effectively from the usable gateway pool. I actually wrote one of these ages ago that worked fairly well with a10 calls per second SER server.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk - Failover System

[asterisk-users] Asterisk Tips and Tricks: Dynamic Subroutines in AGI
When I set out to develop a basic service provider Perl AGI framework for Asterisk three or four years ago, I wanted to design something that would make developing additional Perl AGI apps under this framework scalable and easy to do. One of the features I wanted to have in this framework was the ability to do a database dip on a particular incoming called number to see which service I needed to execute and then to dynamically execute that subroutine from the database servers results. I could switch services or point the number to a canceled operator message by simply doing an update to that telephone number’s record in the database - instantly re-provisioning the telephone number. The hurdle in doing something like this was how to dynamically execute a subroutine from the results of the database query which were dumped into a variable. The method I used with the subroutine reference doesn’t allow for arguments to be passed (if anyone finds / knows a way to do this, let me know), so I use global variables. This is a simple example of dynamic subroutine execution (without the database query): use strict; use warnings; our $called_number; our $calling_number; sub run_me { $AGI-verbose(”Called Number = “.$called_number, 1); $AGI-verbose(”Calling Number = “.$calling_number, 1); } sub set_variables { $called_number = “8005551212″; $calling_number = “300222″; } sub dynamic_execute { my ($sub) = @_; if (!$sub) { $AGI-verbose(”No subroutine name passed!!”, 1); return(-1); } my $exec = \{$sub}; return($exec-()); } set_variables(); dynamic_execute(”run_me”); _ Darren Sessions [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.darrensessions.com _ smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] Semi-OT Satellite?
I've used C-Band, Ku-Band, and DVB satellite internationally with VoIP for years at a previous employer and rarely had any problems was the sat link was up and running. If you do plan on having 'remote offices', you'll want to make sure they all come back to a central earth station (hub and spoke topology) or you'll have virtually insurmountable latency issues (as Femi mentioned). Whatever you do though, don't stick the remote offices with their own internet bandwidth using VPN to connect to the home office for voice, data services as VPNs are extremely problematic over satellite. _ Darren Sessions [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.darrensessions.com _ On Aug 23, 2008, at 4:45 PM, Femi wrote: I’ve used VOIP over satellite for years and while it’s not perfect it is sometimes actually better than cellular voice Unless you have a double hop scenario where the traffic makes two satellite hops from one remote to a central hub and then to another satellite remote the latency is actually not noticeable Satellite usually has a latency of 250 – 300 ms and in most cases this does not have a noticeable effect on the conversation Femi From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ] On Behalf Of Tom Moore Sent: 23 August 2008 15:50 To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Semi-OT Satellite?

Re: [asterisk-users] Suddenly the voice become like robot (cutting), like sick man
It's tough to say why a voice would start sounding like a robot. There are so many variables that could effect your Asterisk server. I always go for process of elimination when I have a problem similar to this with call quality. What I would do is install an end point on the same local network / subnet as your asterisk server (either a hard phone or a soft phone like X-Lite by Counterpath). Register the phone locally with your Asterisk server and make some calls or put an echo tester up. If things sound good, you know your Asterisk server is working just fine, and the problems lies somewhere on your network between the Asterisk server and whatever gateway / device. If it sounds awful, and the codecs match, then it's time to start troubleshooting the server. _ Darren Sessions [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.darrensessions.com _ On Aug 22, 2008, at 3:14 AM, bilal ghayyad wrote: Dear Darren; You might be right because one day it happened with me and the situation was same like this as following: The status that the ping result is very good for all partied (Asterisk machine, IP Phones on the Internet), and no problem in the processor utilization or RAM or hard disk space.

Re: [asterisk-users] Perl AGI defunct process
Ruddy, I've used deadagi for years with perfect success. If it's a perl agi module, you need to make absolutely sure that you're using 'use strict' and 'use warnings' in the main agi file -as well- as any includes. You'll need to test your agi while in console mode, so any of the perl warning messages that get sent to the console are visible. You'll want to get rid of any errors and warnings. In addition, I've setup my agi scripts to execute cleanup functions when they detect any kind of sig message just for good measure. $SIG{INT} = 'cleanup'; $SIG{TERM} = 'cleanup'; $SIG{QUIT} = 'cleanup'; $SIG{HUP} = IGNORE; With this approach, as I said before, I've ran perl agi apps in very high call volumes at various companies for years without any issues.

Re: [asterisk-users] US-based echo test servers?
Another thing you may want to do is try a simple ping test to the far end host. While this may not always be a reliable way to test lag given that the far end maybe just a proxy and your RTP may be terminating to another device, it still should give you a good idea what your lag times are at least on the signaling end of things. You could also do a traceroute to see how many hops your having to jump through as well. You could use a tool like ngrep to actually see the sip signaling and copy out the media gateway from the SDP if you really wanted to, and do a ping on that. I've done extensive work with international voip origination and termination, and typically I haven't had any problems unless it's going over satellite (lag) or there is a problem at the far end (usually pdd or quality issues). If things keep up, I'd even consider running top during a call to see what kind of utilization your local server is at just to make sure something isn't wrong there either.

I've been experimenting with various VoIP providers for international calls to PSTN numbers, particularly to the US (often California). My results, to date, have been very variable indeed, so much so that I'm considering getting a suitable card and using the PSTN. I have found a VoIP provider with an excellent reputation, and it gives very good quality. However, I seem to get quite a bit of delay at times, enough to make conversation awkward. As the setup at the far end was not completely trivial, I'm not 100% sure the problem was in my connection, but I'd like to test that. Are there any US numbers I can call to get an Asterisk-style echo test? Ideally, a California-based numnber, so I can try to call it from an ordinary PSTN phone here, and compare calling via VoIP, and see if there's an appreciable difference in the delay/quality. I don't anticipate using this for very long, so it doesn't necessarily need to be a free service. Failing that, does anyone have access to a US-based Asterisk server which would allow me to make connections to its echo test? Presumably, if I had this, I could rent a PSTN number from a US-based provider, and point it to the appropriate SIP/IAX address. I expect my total usage would be just a few minutes, though having the facility available for a few weeks would be helpful, to allow me to play around with various options.

Re: [asterisk-users] Open door automatically...
Set it so when they dial the number, it calls an AGI script that instantly answers and generates a call file and hangs up. That way, you could dial and then hangup, and the system generates a call file that calls the door phone and does whatever it needs to do separate of the initial call.

We have heard reports that using GCC 4.2 or later with optimizations on causes choppy audio when using GSM. Solutions to this include either downgrading your compiler to GCC 4.1 or earlier, or selecting DONT_OPTIMIZE in menuselect under compiler options and then recompiling Asterisk. I also believe that you can set the optimization level for compilation to -O2 in Makefile.rules and have no choppy audio, but I cannot confirm this. Of course, if this server isn't running GCC 4.2, then you can ignore everything I've said so far :) Mark Michelson ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] 2000+ user Asterisk PBX
I can speak first hand to this having gone through it just a few months ago . . After being spoiled with all the features and standard compliance in Postgres, I was put in a position with a new project to setup a redundant (Master-Slave) database cluster. I immediately jumped to Postgres to do the job (using 8.3). My biggest gripe at the time was that there was really nothing built IN postgres to do the replication as I soon found out. Everything was third party and there were several replication modules suggested to me that seemed stagnant or un-maintained or required an older version of Postgres (bypassing the massive performance increase of the 8.3 release). Of those that I did try that were opensource, all of them seemed fairly complex to get up and running - to say the least. Also having used MySQL extensively, I decided to give it a test run on a separate set of boxes. I'm not exaggerating when I say the replication was up and running in about 10 minutes. While I do appreciate (a lot) how standards compliant Postgres is, MySQL was an absolute clear winner in my book with regards to the replication. Just my two cents . . - Darren _ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.darrensessions.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/dsessions _ On Aug 3, 2008, at 12:26 PM, Tzafrir Cohen wrote: On Sun, Aug 03, 2008 at 08:13:30AM +0100, Grey Man wrote: We use Postgresql which does a good job but the big problem with it is redundancy.

Re: [asterisk-users] Realtime status feature - user feedback needed
Just FYI, I wrote an application that tracks the status of SIP or IAX2 extensions by listening to the AMI. It was for use by callshops but would probably require minimal change to work for you. It's currently part of the ASTPP source code.

That would provide exactly the same functionality, but it would not require a single change to the Asterisk codebase. You could even contribute that application back as something in the contrib/scripts subdirectory. True, that was one of initial options, however I prefer to NOT have yet another layer. I will consider this as an option where appropriate. However this looks quite awkward to me, somehow it reminds me tailing queue_log or CDR and putting result into MySQL database.. just one level more that way. For now, I see only one point against this - having status cleared upon module load/unload makes it easier to follow restarts/module loads. I second that, If there is already a way to do things, why adding another one, especialy if it's for caching reasons. While we cannot say that asterisk fall into the KISS rule, it's not a reason to let it grow. Agreed. There should be ONE to do it, it should be SIMPLE and as RELIABLE as possible, without interfereing (bad spelling?) with asterisk's operations: the proxy into AMI looks like the way to acheive the required funcionality... After all, that's exactly the purpose of AMI ! Let's keep the codebase as small as possible, let's make asterisk as solid and reliable as possible. Let's not reinvent wheels! Ok, so we're exactly at the point. Yes, I agree that it would act nearly the same way as AMI actions, however there's one great advantage - It would be really easy to set this up for user. AMI proxy would take more effort, need configuration, etc. Then there should be much more development support for proxy than for code within asterisk (if you have noticed, there's no new code, just reusing existing functionality) I think that there should be several ways how to do something, not just one. Having realtime status won't mean that much changes, for now I can see only 4 families for this - queue_members (already existing), queue_callers, channels and meetme. Really nothing more to give full overview of Asterisk Status.

Re: [asterisk-users] Had it with Dell Garbage - HP Question
Notifications can be done either thru SNMP traps or SMTP. Insight Manager is free from HP, but any SNMP trapper can work with alerts. The recovery CD is just a build that reloads the majority of the system with a static ip. We backup off site to one of our servers via FTP. ILO access is an integrated IP KVM. So you can see the machine boot, get virtual media access, etc. O/S is CentOS.

Re: [asterisk-users] Analog DID
An analog DID trunk is a line (typically part of a group) that has a group of numbers assigned to it at the telco side. They work in a variety of ways depending on the telco. One example is the trunks as Telus provides them. The end user provides dialtone back to the telco. When a call comes in on a DID the telco picks up the first available line (remember, the customer is providing dial tone.) and dials the last 4 digits of the dialed number. They are often replaced by PRIs but in some locations a PRI is not affordable and these provide the same DID functionality for a small fraction of the price.Darren Wiebe[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Feb 13 2008 10:11:44 AM MST from Tzafrir Cohen to asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Analog DIDOn Wed, Feb 13, 2008 at 10:40:25AM -0600, Joe Pukepail wrote: Does anyone have any suggestions for connecting analog DID trunks?What is an analog DID trunk?You want to connect phones to your Asterisk?
